Calculations of kinematic and static parameters of structural elements of a formula racing car

Abstract

Computer simulation and calculation of the frame of a sports car. The article presents a computer simulation of the frame of a sports car of the SAE Formula class and calculates the stress-strain state based on the finite element method. Based on the results obtained, the car body is simulated. The article presents a computer simulation of the frame of a sports car of the SAE Formula class and calculates the stress-strain state based on the finite element method. Based on the results obtained, the car body is simulated. In this work, the choice of the optimal size ratio of a simplified piston rod model of an automobile engine was made in order to reduce the volume of the structure with acceptable voltage values. The study showed that rational design using modern software systems reduces the time, as well as the physical and financial costs of manufacturing or modifying a particular part of the engine and the car as a whole.
